TLDR
In this large, multisite cohort of patients with severe obesity, bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of incident cancer, particularly obesity-associated cancers, such as postmenopausal breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and colon cancer.
Abstract
Objective:To determine whether bariatric surgery is associated with a lower risk of cancer.Background:Obesity is strongly associated with many types of cancer. Few studies have examined the relationship between bariatric surgery and cancer risk.Methods:We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pa

Benefits and Risks of Bariatric Surgery in Adults: A Review.

TL;DR: All patients with severe obesity-and especially those with type 2 diabetes-should be engaged in a shared decision-making conversation about the risks and benefits of surgery compared with continuing usual medical and lifestyle treatment, and the decision about surgery should be driven primarily by informed patient preferences.

Overweight, obesity, and mortality from cancer in a prospectively studied cohort of U.S. adults.

TL;DR: Current patterns of overweight and obesity in the United States could account for 14 percent of all deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of those in women, and increased body weight was associated with increased death rates for all cancers combined and for cancers at multiple specific sites.
